Background
Rosanna was born to the Earl of Oughterridge and his lady during a local heatwave in the summer of 1793. While her elder brothers and sister were of a tribe of jolly, outspoken creatures, their little Rosanna did not quite perform in the same pattern. As a child she was shy of strangers, and could spend long periods in silence, which unnerved her nurse from time to time. She seemed to adapt as she grew older, however, and joined into games and frolicks as well as any other child. She was always something of a pet with her siblings, and perhaps a bit spoilt in that manner, being the last of the countess' babies to survive. Rosanna attended her lessons well, and particularly enjoys reading and music, though she hates to perform before anyone she does not know very well, and will refuse to do so as long as she can without entirely giving offense. She is generally a happy girl, and comfortable enough in the little society she knew before her debut, though at times now she struggles in large assemblies.
